Description

Pumpfähioe alkalische ReiniqerkonzentratePumpable alkaline cleaner concentrates
Die Erfindung betrifft lagerstabile, pumpfähige, alkalische Reini¬ gerkonzentrate, insbesondere für die industrielle Reinigung von metallischen Oberflächen auf Basis konzentrierter wäßriger Disper¬ sionen von alkalischen Builderstoffen, nichtionischen und/oder an¬ ionischen Tensiden und Stabilisatoren in Alkali etallhydroxid-Lö- sungen.The invention relates to storage-stable, pumpable, alkaline cleaning concentrates, in particular for the industrial cleaning of metallic surfaces based on concentrated aqueous dispersions of alkaline builders, nonionic and / or anionic surfactants and stabilizers in alkali metal hydroxide solutions.
Die aus reinigungstechnischer Sicht wichtigsten Komponenten dieser Konzentrate sind Builder- und Tensidsysteme. Die Eigenschaften dieser Basismischungen aus Builderstoffen und nichtionischen und/oder anionischen Tensiden werden für den praktischen Einsatz häufig noch durch den Zusatz von weiteren Inhaltsstoffen, wie Kom¬ plexbildnern und Korrosionsinhibitoren, dem jeweils vorliegenden Anwendungsfall angepaßt.From a cleaning point of view, the most important components of these concentrates are builder and surfactant systems. The properties of these base mixtures of builder substances and nonionic and / or anionic surfactants are often adapted for practical use by adding further ingredients, such as complexing agents and corrosion inhibitors, to the particular application at hand.
Die wäßrigen Lösungen der alkalischen Reinigungsmittel besitzen einen pH-Wert von ca. 11-14. Sie sind besonders für schwierige Reinigungsaufgaben, z.B. zur Entfernung von dicken Öl- und Pig¬ mentverschmutzungen in Reparaturbetrieben und zur Behälter- und Anlagenreinigung, geeignet. Weiterhin wird dieser Produkttyp ins¬ besondere zur Feinreinigung von metallischen Oberflächen einge¬ setzt, wobei metallisch reine Oberflächen gefordert sind. Dies gilt beispielsweise bei der Reinigung vor und nach Härteprozessen, bei der Reinigung von Bandstahl vor der Glühe und vor dem Beschichten sowie bei der Vorbehandlung von Werkstücken in Galvaniken, Phos- phatierungen, Lackierereien und Erna 11 erbetrieben. Mit diesen Reinigungslösungen wird eine sehr hohe Reinheit der Werkstückober¬ fläche bei einem gleichzeitig guten Schmutztragevermögen des Bades erreicht.The aqueous solutions of the alkaline cleaning agents have a pH of approx. 11-14. They are particularly suitable for difficult cleaning tasks, for example for removing thick oil and pigment contaminations in repair shops and for cleaning containers and systems. Furthermore, this type of product is used in particular for the fine cleaning of metallic surfaces, metallic clean surfaces being required. This applies, for example, to cleaning before and after hardening processes strip steel before annealing and coating, as well as pre-treating workpieces in electroplating, phosphating, painting and Erna 11. With these cleaning solutions, a very high level of purity of the workpiece surface is achieved with a good dirt-carrying capacity of the bath.
Typische alkalische Reinigungsmittel werden meist als Pulver durch Mischen von 80 bis 100 Gew.-% alkalischen Builderstoffen und 0 bis 20 Gew.-% verschiedenen anionischen und/oder nichtionischen Ten¬ siden hergestellt. Die gebräuchlichsten anorganischen Builderstoffe sind alkalisch reagierende Silicate, Phosphate und Carbonate von Natrium und/oder Kalium. Je nach Bedarf kommen noch als Komplex¬ bildner Gluconate, Alkanolamine, Polycarbonsäuren, Polyoxycarbon- säuren und Phosphonate zum Einsatz. Die Tensidmischungen bestehen aus niedrig und hoch ethoxylierten und propoxylierten Alkylphenolen und/oder Fettalkoholen mit verschiedener Kettenlänge und/oder Fettaminen mit verschiedenen Kettenlängen und/oder Fettsäuren bzw. Sulfonsäuren. Diese Inhaltsstoffe sind in den alkalischen Reini¬ gungsmitteln in verschiedenen Kombinationen und ReTativkonzentra- tionen vertreten. Die Zusammensetzung eines optimalen Produktes kann in der Regel nur empirisch durch eine spezielle Musterbear¬ beitung gefunden werden.Typical alkaline cleaning agents are usually produced as a powder by mixing 80 to 100% by weight of alkaline builder substances and 0 to 20% by weight of various anionic and / or nonionic surfactants. The most common inorganic builders are alkaline silicates, phosphates and carbonates of sodium and / or potassium. Depending on requirements, gluconates, alkanolamines, polycarboxylic acids, polyoxycarbonic acids and phosphonates are also used as complexing agents. The surfactant mixtures consist of low and highly ethoxylated and propoxylated alkylphenols and / or fatty alcohols with different chain lengths and / or fatty amines with different chain lengths and / or fatty acids or sulfonic acids. These ingredients are represented in the alkaline cleaning agents in various combinations and relative concentrations. The composition of an optimal product can usually only be found empirically by means of a special sample processing.
Pulverförmige Reinigungsmittel neigen stark zum Stauben und können daher beim Dosieren eine Belästigung oder sogar Gefährdung des An¬ wenders verursachen.Powdery cleaning agents have a strong tendency to dust and can therefore cause annoyance or even endanger the user when dispensing.
Derartige Schwierigkeiten können mit flüssigen oder zumindest pumpfähigen Reinigungsprodukten weitgehend vermieden werden, die in der Regel sehr viel einfacher dosiert werden können. Bei der For¬ mulierung derartiger Reinigungsmittel tauchen jedoch zwei Probleme auf: Natriumverbindungen der Builderstoffe können in der Mehrzahl der Fälle nur bis zu einer maximalen Konzentration von ca. 100 bis 150 g/1 als thermodynamisch stabile Lösungen bei Umgebungstempera¬ tur (Raumtemperatur) konfektioniert werden. Beim Einsatz der ent¬ sprechenden Kaliumverbindungen können dagegen Mengen von ca. 500 g/1 gelöst werden. Die Rohstoffkosten steigen dann allerdings be¬ trächtlich an. Weiterhin ist die Löslichkeit der bewährten Tenside in derartig hoch salzhaltigen, stark alkalischen Lösungen in der Regel völlig ungenügend. Übliche nichtionische Tenside sind über¬ haupt nicht aufzulösen, und bei anionischen Tensiden besteht nur die Möglichkeit, Verbindungen aufzulösen, die eine sehr kurze, we¬ nig hydrophobe C-Kette in der Größenordnung von sechs oder weniger C-Atomen aufweisen. Nonylphenolethoxylate, Fettalkoholethoxylate, Fettsäuren und Alkylbenzolsulfonate sind dann für derartige Reini¬ gungsmittel ungeeignet.Such difficulties can largely be avoided with liquid or at least pumpable cleaning products, which can generally be dosed much more easily. However, two problems arise when formulating such cleaning agents In most cases, sodium compounds of the builder substances can only be assembled as thermodynamically stable solutions at ambient temperature (room temperature) up to a maximum concentration of approximately 100 to 150 g / l. In contrast, when the corresponding potassium compounds are used, amounts of approximately 500 g / l can be dissolved. However, the raw material costs then rise considerably. Furthermore, the solubility of the proven surfactants in such highly saline, strongly alkaline solutions is generally completely inadequate. Usual nonionic surfactants cannot be dissolved at all, and with anionic surfactants there is only the possibility of dissolving compounds which have a very short, slightly hydrophobic C chain of the order of six or fewer C atoms. Nonylphenol ethoxylates, fatty alcohol ethoxylates, fatty acids and alkylbenzenesulfonates are then unsuitable for cleaning agents of this type.

Roßmann in "Ratio¬ nelle Vorbehandlung durch kontinuierlichen Betrieb von Entfet¬ tungsbädern", Metalloberfläche, Vol. 39 (1985), Seiten 41 bis 44.Ch. Roßmann gives an overview of two-component cleaners which contain sodium hydroxide in a separate solution in "Rational pretreatment by continuous operation of degreasing baths", Metallfläche, Vol. 39 (1985), pages 41 to 44.
Die gebräuchlichen technischen Industriereiniger werden üblicher¬ weise in Silicat- und Phosphatreiniger unterteilt. Hierbei charak¬ terisiert man die pulverförmigen Silicatreiniger auf Basis von Natriummetasilicat und Ätznatron in der Regel durch das Siθ2/Na2θ- Gewichts- bzw. Molverhältnis, das sich beim Auflösen der Produkte in Wasser einstellt. Derartige Reiniger können bei Umgebungstempe¬ ratur bis zu einer maximalen Konzentration von ca. 100 g/1 in Was¬ ser aufgelöst werden, sofern die entsprechenden Natriumsalze und Ätznatron eingesetzt werden. Finden hingegen die entsprechenden Kaliumsalze und Kaliumhydroxid Verwendung, so resultieren Lösungen mit einer maximalen Konzentration von ca. 500 g/1. In Chemical Abstracts Vol. 100 (1984), Seite 114, 100:70377k, Re¬ ferat zu JP-A-83/108300, wird ein Geschirrspülmittel auf Basis ei¬ nes alkalischen Slurrys beschrieben, welches 5 bis 10 % NaOHt 15 bis 40 % KOH, 10 bis 35 % Natriumtripolyphosphat, 5 bis 15 % Si i- cate, 0,5 bis 10 % Isoamylen-Maleinsäureanhydrid-Copolymer, 0,5 bis 5 % Polyacrylsäure und 40 bis 60 % Wasser enthält.The usual industrial industrial cleaners are usually divided into silicate and phosphate cleaners. In this case, the powdered silicate cleaners based on sodium metasilicate and caustic soda are typically characterized by the SiO 2 / Na 2 O weight or molar ratio that occurs when the products are dissolved in water. Such cleaners can be dissolved in water at ambient temperature up to a maximum concentration of approx. 100 g / l if the corresponding sodium salts and caustic soda are used. However, if the corresponding potassium salts and potassium hydroxide are used, solutions with a maximum concentration of approx. 500 g / 1 result. Chemical Abstracts Vol. 100 (1984), page 114, 100: 70377k, reference to JP-A-83/108300, describes a dishwashing detergent based on an alkaline slurry which contains 5 to 10% NaOH t 15 to Contains 40% KOH, 10 to 35% sodium tripolyphosphate, 5 to 15% silicates, 0.5 to 10% isoamylene-maleic anhydride copolymer, 0.5 to 5% polyacrylic acid and 40 to 60% water.
Auch die US-A-4 147 650 beschreibt einen alkalischen Slurry, der für maschinelle Geschirrspülmittel Verwendung finden soll. Dieser wäßrige Slurry enthält Alkalimetallhydroxide und/oder -silicate als alkalische Builderstoffe, Natriumhypochlorit als Chlor-Quelle und Natriumtripolyphosphat oder Natriumpyrophosphat oder andere kon¬ densierte Phosphate sowie Natriu polyacrylat oder Natriumpolymeth- acrylat als Wasserkonditionierungsmittel.US Pat. No. 4,147,650 also describes an alkaline slurry which is to be used for automatic dishwashing detergents. This aqueous slurry contains alkali metal hydroxides and / or silicates as alkaline builders, sodium hypochlorite as a chlorine source and sodium tripolyphosphate or sodium pyrophosphate or other condensed phosphates as well as sodium polyacrylate or sodium polymethacrylate as water conditioning agent.
Gegenstand der US-A-4 521 332 sind Reiniger-Dispersionen zur Rei¬ nigung von gewalztem Stahlband vor dessen Weiterverarbeitung. Diese lagerstabilen, hoch-alkalischen, wäßrigen Dispersionen enthalten Natriumhydroxid, Natriumcarbonat als Stellmittel, Alkalimetall- phosphate als Builder sowie ferner Chelatbildner, nichtionische Tenside und Polyacrylsäure als Dispergiermittel.US-A-4 521 332 relates to cleaner dispersions for cleaning rolled steel strip prior to its further processing. These storage-stable, highly alkaline, aqueous dispersions contain sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate as adjusting agents, alkali metal phosphates as builders and also chelating agents, nonionic surfactants and polyacrylic acid as dispersants.
Aus der DE-A-37 08 330 sind ferner flüssige, alkalische Reiniger¬ konzentrate zur Reinigung von Metalloberflächen vor Veredelungs¬ oder Verarbeitungsprozessen bekannt, die die folgenden Komponenten aufweisen: a) 80 bis 99,7 Gew.-% einer wäßrigen Lösung eines Builders oder Buildergemisches, enthaltend 50 bis 60 Gew.-% Wasser sowie mindestens ein Alkalimetallsilicat und/oder -phosphat und b) 0,3 bis 22 Gew.-% einer Tensidkombination, bestehend aus aπioni- schen Tensiden, nichtionischen Tensiden und Alkylglucosiden. Hier¬ bei handelt es sich jedoch um Lösungen - und nicht um Dispersionen -, die zudem nur bei Verwendung der speziellen Tensidkombination erhältlich sind.DE-A-37 08 330 also discloses liquid, alkaline cleaner concentrates for cleaning metal surfaces before finishing or processing processes, which have the following components: a) 80 to 99.7% by weight of an aqueous solution of a builder or builder mixture containing 50 to 60% by weight of water and at least one alkali metal silicate and / or phosphate and b) 0.3 to 22% by weight of a surfactant combination consisting of anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants and alkyl glucosides. However, these are solutions - and not dispersions - which are also only available when using the special surfactant combination.
Dem genannten Stand der Technik gegenüber bestand die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung in der Bereitstellung pumpfähiger alkali¬ scher Reinigerkonzentrate auf Basis von wäßrigen Dispersionen al¬ kalischer Builderstoffe, Alkalimetallhydroxide und nichtionischer und/oder anionischer Tenside mit hoher Lagerstabilität. Bei im Stand der Technik bekannten Reinigerkonzentraten tritt häufig be¬ reits nach wenigen Tagen eine Destabilisierung der Dispersion auf, die sich in einer Phasentrennung, d.h. dem Absetzen von festen Be¬ standteilen, äußert.In relation to the prior art mentioned, the object of the present invention was to provide pumpable alkaline cleaner concentrates based on aqueous dispersions of alkaline builder substances, alkali metal hydroxides and nonionic and / or anionic surfactants with high storage stability. In the case of cleaner concentrates known in the prior art, a destabilization of the dispersion often occurs after a few days, which takes place in a phase separation, i.e. the deposition of solid components.
Eine weitere Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, nichtionische und/oder anionische Tenside stabil in hochkonzen¬ trierte Builder-Dispersionen einzubringen.Another object of the present invention is to incorporate nonionic and / or anionic surfactants stably in highly concentrated builder dispersions.
Weiterhin besteht die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, ein pumpfähiges Reinigerkonzentrat zum Reinigen von Metalloberflächen, insbesondere von Stahl, Buntmetall, Kupfer, Aluminium und Zink, die anschließend Veredelungsprozessen wie Phosphatieren, Galvanisieren, Emaillieren, Lackieren etc. unterworfen werden sollen, zur" Verfü¬ gung zu stellen. Auch sollen die erfindungsgemäßen Reinigerkonzen¬ trate Anwendung bei der Zwischenreinigung vor Verarbeitungspro¬ zessen, beispielsweise vor der Glühe, finden.Another object of the present invention is to provide a pumpable cleaner concentrate for cleaning metal surfaces, in particular steel, non-ferrous metal, copper, aluminum and zinc, which are then to be subjected to finishing processes such as phosphating, electroplating, enamelling, painting, etc. The cleaner concentrates according to the invention are also intended to be used in the intermediate cleaning before processing processes, for example before the annealing step.
Die vorstehend genannten Aufgaben werden gelöst durch lagerstabile, pumpfähige, alkalische Reinigerkonzentrate, die aus einer konzen¬ trierten wäßrigen Dispersion eines Builderstoffes oder Builderge- misches sowie nichtionischen und/oder anionischen Tensiden in Alkalimetallhydroxid-Lösungen bestehen. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung sind dementsprechend lager¬ stabile, pumpfähige, alkalische Reinigerkonzentrate, bestehend aus wäßrigen Dispersionen auf Basis von Alkalimetallhydroxiden, die Alkalimetallsilicate und/oder Alkalimetallphosphate als alkalische Builderstoffe sowie nichtionische und/oder anionische Tenside und gegebenenfa ls weitere Bu derstoffe und/oder Komplexbildner und/oder weitere an sich bekannte Wirk- oder Hilfsstoffe dispergiert enthalten, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß sie als Stabi¬ lisatoren eine Kombination aus a) Polyacrylsäure und/oder Alkali etallpolyacrylaten und b) Glycerin und/oder Polyglycerin aufweisen.The above-mentioned objects are achieved by storage-stable, pumpable, alkaline cleaner concentrates, which consist of a concentrated aqueous dispersion of a builder or builder mixture as well as nonionic and / or anionic surfactants in alkali metal hydroxide solutions. The present invention accordingly relates to storage-stable, pumpable, alkaline cleaner concentrates, consisting of aqueous dispersions based on alkali metal hydroxides, the alkali metal silicates and / or alkali metal phosphates as alkaline builder substances and nonionic and / or anionic surfactants and, if appropriate, further builder substances and / or complexing agents and / or further dispersed active ingredients or auxiliaries, characterized in that they have a combination of a) polyacrylic acid and / or alkali metal polyacrylates and b) glycerol and / or polyglycerol as stabilizers.
Die erfindungsgemäß bereitgestellten Dispersionen zeichnen sich durch folgende Eigenschaften aus:The dispersions provided according to the invention are distinguished by the following properties:
sehr hohe Feststoff-Aktivsubstanz-Gehalte; sehr geringe Mengen zusätzlich benötigter Dispersionshilfsmit¬ tel, die alkalistabil, preiswert und zudem zum großen Teil (schnell) biologisch abbaubar sind; die üblicherweise in der Reinigung verwendeten Netzmittel sind in der Dispersion chemisch stabil und separieren nicht; die Dispersionen haben - verglichen mit den Pulverprodukten - eine verbesserte Lösegeschwindigkeit.very high solid active substance contents; very small amounts of additional dispersion auxiliaries required, which are alkali-stable, inexpensive and moreover (largely) biodegradable; the wetting agents usually used in cleaning are chemically stable in the dispersion and do not separate; the dispersions have an improved dissolution rate compared to the powder products.
Als Alkalimetalle finden im Sinne der Erfindung vorzugsweise Na¬ trium und/oder Kalium Verwendung. Hierbei werden auch Mischungen entsprechender Natrium- und Kaliumverbindungen eingesetzt. Insbe¬ sondere bevorzugt ist jedoch die Verwendung von Natrium als Alka- limetall. Wie vorstehend bereits gesagt, basieren die erfindungsgemäßen Rei¬ nigerkonzentrate auf wäßrigen Lösungen von Alkalimetallhydroxiden, welche die alkalischen Builderstoffe, die nichtionischen und/oder anionischen Tenside, die Stabilisatoren sowie die gegebenenfalls zuzusetzenden Inhaltsstoffe in dispergierter Form enthalten. Im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es bevorzugt, als wäßrige Alkalimetallhydroxid-Lösung eine 40 bis 50 Gew.-%ige wäßrige Lösung von Natriumhydroxid einzusetzen.For the purposes of the invention, sodium and / or potassium are preferably used as alkali metals. Mixtures of appropriate sodium and potassium compounds are also used. However, the use of sodium as alkali metal is particularly preferred. As already mentioned above, the cleaner concentrates according to the invention are based on aqueous solutions of alkali metal hydroxides which contain the alkaline builder substances, the nonionic and / or anionic surfactants, the stabilizers and the ingredients, if appropriate, to be added in dispersed form. For the purposes of the present invention, it is preferred to use a 40 to 50% by weight aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide as the aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution.
Als alkalische Builderstoffe werden erfindungsgemäß Alkalimetall¬ silicate und/oder Alkalimetallphosphate eingesetzt, wobei die ent¬ sprechenden Natriumverbindungen bevorzugt sind. Wenn hier von Alkalimetallsilicaten die Rede ist, so werden erfindungsgemäß be¬ vorzugt Natriumsilicate mit einem MolVerhältnis Siθ2/ a2θ im Be¬ reich von 1:1 bis 3,5:1 eingesetzt, wobei Natriumsilicate mit einem MolVerhältnis Siθ2/ a2θ = 1:1 insbesondere bevorzugt sind. Die erfindungsgemäßen Reinigerkonzentrate enthalten derartige Natrium¬ silicate in einer Menge von 5 bis 80 Gew.-%, bezogen auf die wä߬ rige Natriumhydroxid-Lösung. Aufgrund der Kombination von Natrium- silicaten mit Natriumhydroxid verschiebt sich nun das Molverhältnis Siθ2/ a2θ dieser Kombination zu geringeren Werten. Erfindungsgemäß ist es bevorzugt, daß das resultierende Molverhältnis Siθ2/Na2θ - bezogen auf die Kombination von Natriumsilicat und Natriumhydroxid - vorzugsweise im Bereich von 0,1:1 bis 0,5:1 liegt.According to the invention, alkali metal silicates and / or alkali metal phosphates are used as alkaline builder substances, the corresponding sodium compounds being preferred. If alkali metal silicates are mentioned here, sodium silicates with a molar ratio SiO 2 / a 2 O in the range from 1: 1 to 3.5: 1 are preferably used according to the invention, sodium silicates with a mol ratio SiO 2 / a2 O = 1: 1 in particular are preferred. The cleaner concentrates according to the invention contain such sodium silicates in an amount of 5 to 80% by weight, based on the aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. Due to the combination of sodium silicates with sodium hydroxide, the molar ratio SiO2 / a2O of this combination shifts to lower values. According to the invention, it is preferred that the resulting SiO 2 / Na 2 O molar ratio, based on the combination of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide, is preferably in the range from 0.1: 1 to 0.5: 1.
Wie bereits gesagt, können die erfindungsgemäßen Reinigerkonzen¬ trate als alkalische Builderstoffe Alkalimetallphosphate enthalten, die entweder zusammen mit den Alkalimetallsilicaten oder anstelle derselben dispergiert in der Natriumhydroxid-Lösung vorliegen. Er¬ findungsgemäß werden als Alkalimetallphosphate vorzugsweise Natriu triphosphat (auch Tripolyphosphat genannt) und/oder Natriu pyrophosphat eingesetzt, wobei Natriumpyrophosphat bevorzugt ist. Die erfindungsgemäßen Reinigerkonzentrate enthalten derartige Natriumphosphate in einer Menge von 5 bis 50 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise in einer Menge von 10 bis 50 Gew.-%, jeweils bezogen auf die wä߬ rige Natriumhydroxid-Lösung.As already mentioned, the cleaner concentrates according to the invention can contain alkali metal phosphates as alkaline builder substances, which are present either together with the alkali metal silicates or instead of them dispersed in the sodium hydroxide solution. According to the invention, sodium triphosphate (also called tripolyphosphate) and / or sodium pyrophosphate are preferably used as alkali metal phosphates, sodium pyrophosphate being preferred is. The cleaner concentrates according to the invention contain such sodium phosphates in an amount of 5 to 50% by weight, preferably in an amount of 10 to 50% by weight, in each case based on the aqueous sodium hydroxide solution.
Als Beispiele für die im Sinne der Erfindung einzusetzenden, nichtionischen Tenside seien genannt: Ethoxylierte bzw. propoxylierte Alkohole, Phenole und Amine. Insbesondere verwendet werden Fettalkohole mit einer Kettenlänge von 12 bis 18 C-Atomen, Oxoalkohole mit einer Kettenlänge von 9 bis 15 C-Atomen, Nonylphenol sowie Fettamine mit einer Kettenlänge von 12 bis 18 C-Atomen, jeweils mit 1 bis 14 Mol Ethylenoxid (E0) bzw. Propylen- oxid (PO).Examples of nonionic surfactants to be used in the context of the invention are: ethoxylated or propoxylated alcohols, phenols and amines. In particular, fatty alcohols with a chain length of 12 to 18 carbon atoms, oxo alcohols with a chain length of 9 to 15 carbon atoms, nonylphenol and fatty amines with a chain length of 12 to 18 carbon atoms, each with 1 to 14 mol ethylene oxide (E0 ) or propylene oxide (PO).

Auch die entsprechenden prop- oxylierten Verbindungen können Verwendung finden.Cl2-18 "F etta" l- ° h 0 ' l e ' ethoxylated with 4, 9 or 14 mol E0; Oleyl alcohol, ethoxylated with 2 or 10 mol EO; Cg_i2-0xoalkohol, eth¬ oxylated with 6 EO; Cιχ_i5-0xoalkohole, ethoxylates me 7 or 9 mol EO; Nonylphenol, ethoxylated with 6 or 12 moles of EO; Ci ^ is-Fet amine (coconut amine), ethoxylated with 12 mol EO; Ciμiβ-fatty amines (tallow amine), ethoxylated with 12 mol EO. The corresponding propoxylated compounds can also be used.
Als Beispiele für die im Sinne der Erfindung einzusetzenden anio¬ nischen Tenside seien genannt: Geradkettige oder verzweigte, ge¬ sättigte oder ungesättigte Carbonsäuren mit 10 bis 18 C-Atomen und deren Alkalimetallsalze, vorzugsweise Natriumsalze, insbesondere entsprechende Fettsäureseifen; Alkylbenzolsulfonate mit 8 bis 18 C-Atomen im Alkylrest; Alkansulfonate mit 12 bis 18 C-Atomen im Alkanrest; α-Olefinsulfonate mit 12 bis 18 C-Atomen im Olefinrest; α-Sulfofettsäureester von Cχ2 b"-s Cis-Fettsäuremethylester; Fett¬ alkoholsulfate mit 8 bis 18 C-Atomen im Fettalkoholrest sowie Fettalkoholethersulfate mit 12 bis 16 C-Atomen im Fettalkoholrest und 2 bis 4 Mol Ethylenoxid.Examples of the anionic surfactants to be used in the context of the invention are: straight-chain or branched, saturated or unsaturated carboxylic acids having 10 to 18 carbon atoms and their alkali metal salts, preferably sodium salts, in particular corresponding fatty acid soaps; Alkylbenzenesulfonates with 8 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical; Alkanesulfonates with 12 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkane radical; α-olefin sulfonates with 12 to 18 carbon atoms in the olefin radical; α-sulfo fatty acid esters of Cχ2 b "- s cis fatty acid methyl ester; fatty alcohol sulfates with 8 to 18 carbon atoms in the fatty alcohol residue and Fatty alcohol ether sulfates with 12 to 16 carbon atoms in the fatty alcohol residue and 2 to 4 moles of ethylene oxide.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Reinigerkonzentrate enthalten derartige nichtionische und/oder anionische Tenside in einer Menge von 0,1 bis 10 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise in einer Menge von 1 bis 3 Gew.-%, je¬ weils bezogen auf die Gesamtzusammensetzung der Reinigerkonzen¬ trate.The cleaner concentrates according to the invention contain such nonionic and / or anionic surfactants in an amount of 0.1 to 10% by weight, preferably in an amount of 1 to 3% by weight, in each case based on the total composition of the cleaner concentrates.
In Abhängigkeit vom Alkoxylierungsgrad können die nichtionischen Tenside je nach Bedarf zum Reinigen, Emulgieren und Entschäumen herangezogen werden.Depending on the degree of alkoxylation, the nonionic surfactants can be used for cleaning, emulsifying and defoaming as required.
Bei verschiedenen Anforderungen an die Reinigungslösungen können auch Mischungen der nichtionischen Tenside eingesetzt werden. Gleiches gilt für Mischungen anionischer Tenside sowie für Mi¬ schungen von nichtionischen und anionischen Tensiden. In der Regel ist der Einsatz nichtionischer Tenside bevorzugt.Mixtures of the nonionic surfactants can also be used to meet various cleaning solution requirements. The same applies to mixtures of anionic surfactants and to mixtures of nonionic and anionic surfactants. In general, the use of nonionic surfactants is preferred.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Reinigerkonzentrate enthalten als wesentliche Bestandteile ferner eine Kombination aus a) Polyacrylsäure und/oder Alkalimetallpolyacrylaten und b) Glycerin und/oder Polyglycerin zur Stabilisierung der Dispersion.The essential constituents of the cleaner concentrates according to the invention also contain a combination of a) polyacrylic acid and / or alkali metal polyacrylates and b) glycerol and / or polyglycerol to stabilize the dispersion.
Erfindungsgemäß ist es bevorzugt, daß die Reinigerkonzentrate Polyacrylsäure und/oder Alkalimetallpolyacrylate in einer Menge von 0,5 bis 10 Gew.-%, insbesondere in einer Menge von 2 bis 6 Gew.-%, jeweils bezogen auf den in der Dispersion dispergierten Feststoff, enthalten. Die Verwendung von Polyacrylsäure erweist sich gegenüber der neu¬ tralisierten Natrium-Form bei gleicher Molekularmasse vorteilhafter hinsichtlich der erreichten Dispersionsstabilität. Prinzipiell sind die einzusetzenden Polyacrylsäuren bereits aus der US-A-4 521 332 bekannt. Die Verwendung von Polyacrylsäuren wird gegenüber den Salzen bevorzugt, weil die freien Säuren im Gegensatz zu den Salzen deutlich besser in Wasser löslich sind und so in einem ersten Her¬ stellungsschritt sehr gut, auch in Kombination mit den verwendeten nichtionischen und/oder anionischen Tensiden, auf die zu dispergierenden Feststoffe aufgebracht werden können. Das besonders bevorzugte Molekulargewicht der Polyacrylsäuren liegt im Bereich von 500 bis 12 000, vorzugsweise unter 10 000; beste Ergebnisse wurden bei Verwendung einer 63 Gew.-%igen Lösung einer Polyacrylsäure mit einem Molekulargewicht von 2 100 erhalten. Hö¬ here Molekulargewichte der Polyacrylsäuren führten bei gleichen Aktivsubstanzgehalten lediglich zu erhöhten Viskositäten. Beim Einsatz von Alkal metallsalzen der Polyacrylsäure, wie beispiels¬ weise Natriumpolyacrylaten, ist - bezüglich der Einsatzmenge - dem Molekulargewicht des Natriums entsprechend Rechnung zu tragen.According to the invention, it is preferred that the cleaner concentrates polyacrylic acid and / or alkali metal polyacrylates in an amount of 0.5 to 10% by weight, in particular in an amount of 2 to 6% by weight, based in each case on the solid dispersed in the dispersion, contain. The use of polyacrylic acid proves to be more advantageous than the neutralized sodium form with the same molecular mass in terms of the dispersion stability achieved. In principle, the polyacrylic acids to be used are already known from US Pat. No. 4,521,332. The use of polyacrylic acids is preferred over the salts because, in contrast to the salts, the free acids are significantly more soluble in water and are therefore very good in a first production step, also in combination with the nonionic and / or anionic surfactants used the solids to be dispersed can be applied. The particularly preferred molecular weight of the polyacrylic acids is in the range from 500 to 12,000, preferably below 10,000; best results were obtained using a 63% by weight solution of a polyacrylic acid with a molecular weight of 2,100. Higher molecular weights of the polyacrylic acids only led to increased viscosities with the same active substance contents. When using alkali metal salts of polyacrylic acid, such as, for example, sodium polyacrylates, the molecular weight of the sodium must be taken into account in relation to the amount used.
Bestandteil der erfindungsgemäßen Stabilisator-Kombination sind ferner Glycerin und/oder Polyglycerin. Diese liegen in den er¬ findungsgemäßen Reinigerkonzentraten in einer Menge von 0,5 bis 10 Gew.-%, insbesondere in einer Menge von 1 bis 3 Gew.-%, jeweils bezogen auf die Gesamtzusammensetzung der Reinigerkonzentrate, vor. Polyglycerine im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung sind beispiels¬ weise bekannt aus Ullmanns Encyklopädie der technischen Chemie, 4. Auflage 1976, Band 12, Seite 374. Die Polyglycerine haben relative Molekülmassen von 166 (6 C-Atome) bis 2238 (90 C-Atome) und 4 bis 32 Hydroxylgruppen. Diese werden durch alkalikatalysierte Polykon- densation aus Glycerin unter Wasserabspaltung (Verknüpfung über Etherfunktionen) erhalten. Bei dieser Reaktion werden Oligomerengemische erhalten, deren mittlerer Polymerisationsgrad sich beispielsweise über die OH-Zahl bestimmen läßt.Glycerol and / or polyglycerol are also part of the stabilizer combination according to the invention. These are present in the cleaner concentrates according to the invention in an amount of 0.5 to 10% by weight, in particular in an amount of 1 to 3% by weight, in each case based on the total composition of the cleaner concentrates. For the purposes of the present invention, polyglycerols are known, for example, from Ullmanns Encyklopadie der industrial chemistry, 4th edition 1976, volume 12, page 374. The polyglycerols have relative molecular weights of 166 (6 carbon atoms) to 2238 (90 carbon atoms) and 4 to 32 hydroxyl groups. These are obtained by alkali-catalyzed polycondensation from glycerol with elimination of water (linkage via ether functions). In this reaction Obtain oligomer mixtures whose average degree of polymerization can be determined, for example, via the OH number.
Neben den oben genannten Wirkstoffkomponenten können die erfin¬ dungsgemäßen Reinigerkonzentrate auch noch weitere, in alkalischen Reinigungsmitteln üblicherweise verwendete Bestandteile enthalten. Als solche kommen insbesondere in Frage: zusätzliche alkalische Builderstoffe, Komplexbildner, Entschäumer und Korrosionsinhibi¬ toren. Beispielhaft für im Sinne der Erfindung besonders geeignete Verbindungen seien genannt:In addition to the active ingredient components mentioned above, the cleaner concentrates according to the invention can also contain further constituents which are usually used in alkaline cleaning agents. The following are particularly suitable as such: additional alkaline builders, complexing agents, defoamers and corrosion inhibitors. Examples of compounds which are particularly suitable in the context of the invention are:
Zusätzliche alkalische Builderstoffe: Alkanolamine, wie Mono-, Di¬ oder Triethanola in, Alkalimetallcarbonate, wie Natriumcarbonat, Alkali etallgluconate, insbesondere Natrium- oder Kaliumgluconat, sowie weitere Alkalimetallhydroxide, d.h. insbesondere Natrium¬ hydroxid. Die erfindungsgemäßen Reinigerkonzentrate enthalten diese zusätzlichen alkalischen Builderstoffe in einer Menge von 1 bis 15 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise 3 bis 10 Gew.-%, jeweils bezogen auf die Ge¬ samtzusammensetzung der Reinigerkonzentrate.Additional alkaline builder substances: alkanolamines, such as mono-, di- or triethanolamine, alkali metal carbonates, such as sodium carbonate, alkali metal gluconates, in particular sodium or potassium gluconate, and further alkali metal hydroxides, i.e. in particular sodium hydroxide. The cleaner concentrates according to the invention contain these additional alkaline builder substances in an amount of 1 to 15% by weight, preferably 3 to 10% by weight, in each case based on the total composition of the cleaner concentrates.
Komplexbildner: Polycarbonsäuren, Phosphonsäuren, wie Hydroxyethan-l,l-diphosphonsäure (HEDP), Amino- tris(methylenphosphonsäure) (ATMP), A inopolycarbonsäuren, bei¬ spielsweise Ethylendiamintetraessigsäure (EDTA) oder Nitrilotri- essigsäure (NTA), Polyoxycarbonsäuren, z.B. Citronensäure, und die wasserlöslichen Salze derartiger Säuren, vorzugsweise die Natrium¬ salze. Die erfindungsgemäßen Reinigerkonzentrate können derartige Komplexbildner in einer Menge von 0,5 bis 5 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise 2 bis 4 Gew.-%, jeweils bezogen auf die Gesamtzusammensetzung der Reinigerkonzentrate, enthalten.Complexing agents: polycarboxylic acids, phosphonic acids, such as hydroxyethane-l, l-diphosphonic acid (HEDP), amino-tris (methylenephosphonic acid) (ATMP), aminopolycarboxylic acids, for example ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), polyoxycarboxylic acids, e.g. Citric acid, and the water-soluble salts of such acids, preferably the sodium salts. The cleaning concentrates according to the invention can contain such complexing agents in an amount of 0.5 to 5% by weight, preferably 2 to 4% by weight, in each case based on the total composition of the cleaning concentrates.
Entschäumer: C^/ig-FettalkohoUKokosalkoholJ-polyethylenglykol- butylether, Ethylendiamin + 30E0 + 60P0; jeweils in Mengen von 0,1 bis 5 Gew.-%, bezogen auf die Gesamtzusammensetzung der Reiniger¬ konzentrate. Korrosionsinhibitoren: (für Buntmetalle) Benztriazol, Tolyltriazol; jeweils in Mengen von 0,1 bis 5 Gew.-%, bezogen auf die Gesamtzu¬ sammensetzung der Reinigerkonzentrate.Defoamer: C ^ / ig fatty alcohol coconut alcohol J polyethylene glycol butyl ether, ethylenediamine + 30E0 + 60P0; in each case in amounts of 0.1 to 5% by weight, based on the total composition of the cleaner concentrates. Corrosion inhibitors: (for non-ferrous metals) benzotriazole, tolyltriazole; in each case in amounts of 0.1 to 5% by weight, based on the total composition of the cleaner concentrates.
Ein Zusatz derartiger Verbindungen ist im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung keineswegs generell erforderlich; solche Additive können vielmehr je nach Anwendungsfall von Vorteil sein, wobei die jeweils erforderlichen Mengen auf den Bedarfsfall abzustimmen sind.The addition of such compounds is by no means generally necessary in the context of the present invention; Such additives can rather be advantageous depending on the application, the quantities required in each case being matched to the need.
Zur Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen pumpfähigen alkalischen Rei¬ nigerkonzentrate geht man in der Regel in der folgenden Weise vor: Die Builderstoffe werden zunächst als Feststoffe mit den im Reini¬ ger verwendeten Netzmitteln, d.h. den nichtionischen und/oder an¬ ionischen Tensiden, und den Stabilisatoren, d.h. mit Polyacrylsäure und Glycerin/Polyglycerin, sowie den gegebenenfalls einzusetzenden weiteren Inhaltsstoffen vermischt. In einem zweiten Schritt wird dieses Gemisch in technischer 40 bis 50 Gew.-%iger wäßriger Na¬ tronlauge dispergiert. Es ist natürlich auch möglich, die Builderstoffe, Tenside, Stabilisatoren sowie die gegebenenfalls einzusetzenden weiteren Inhaltsstoffe einzeln in beliebiger Rei¬ henfolge in der vorgelegten wäßrigen Natronlauge zu dispergieren. Wichtig hierbei ist, daß dieses Dispergieren unter Einwirkung hoher Scher-, Schub- und Reibungskräfte erfolgt, beispielsweise durch den Einsatz sogenannter ROTOR-STATOR-Systeme. Als ROTOR-STATOR-Systeme werden handelsübliche Fabrikate, z.B. der Firma Janke & Kunkel GmbH & Co. (Ultra-Turrax), der Firma Silverson, der Firma Fryma (Zahn¬ kolloidmühle), der Firma Cavitron (Cavitron) oder der Firma Krupp (Supratron) verwendet. Die ROTOR-STATOR-Systeme können hierbei so¬ wohl als Kammer-, Loch- oder Kegelwerkzeuge ausgeführt sein. ,To produce the pumpable alkaline cleaner concentrates according to the invention, the procedure is generally as follows: The builder substances are firstly treated as solids with the wetting agents used in the cleaner, i.e. the nonionic and / or anionic surfactants, and the stabilizers, i.e. mixed with polyacrylic acid and glycerin / polyglycerin, as well as any other ingredients to be used. In a second step, this mixture is dispersed in technical 40 to 50% by weight aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. It is of course also possible to individually disperse the builders, surfactants, stabilizers and any other ingredients to be used in any order in the aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. It is important here that this dispersion takes place under the action of high shear, thrust and frictional forces, for example through the use of so-called ROTOR-STATOR systems. Commercially available brands are used as ROTOR-STATOR systems, e.g. from Janke & Kunkel GmbH & Co. (Ultra-Turrax), from Silverson, from Fryma (Zahn¬ colloid mill), from Cavitron (Cavitron) or from Krupp (Supratron). The ROTOR-STATOR systems can be designed as chamber, hole or cone tools. .
Die Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Reinigerkonzentrate kann durchaus bei Raumtemperatur erfolgen. Bevorzugt ist es jedoch, daß dieses Dispergieren bei erhöhter Temperatur, d.h. bei Temperaturen bis 220 °C, erfolgt; insbesondere ist hier ein Temperaturbereich von 50 bis 60 °C bevorzugt. Selbstverständlich kann die Herstellung der Reinigerkonzentrate sowohl diskontinuierlich als auch kontinu¬ ierlich erfolgen.The cleaning concentrates according to the invention can be produced at room temperature. However, it is preferred that this dispersion takes place at elevated temperature, ie at temperatures up to 220 ° C; a temperature range of 50 to 60 ° C. is particularly preferred here. Of course, the cleaning concentrates can be produced both discontinuously and continuously.
Weiterhin ist Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung die Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Reinigerkonzentrate bei der Reinigung von Metalloberflächen, insbesondere von Stahl, Buntmetallen, Kupfer, Aluminium und Zink vor Veredelungsprozessen wie Phosphatieren, Galvanisieren, Emaillieren und Lackieren sowie bei der Zwischen¬ reinigung vor Verarbeitungsprozessen, insbesondere vor der Glühe.The present invention furthermore relates to the use of the cleaner concentrates according to the invention in the cleaning of metal surfaces, in particular steel, non-ferrous metals, copper, aluminum and zinc before finishing processes such as phosphating, electroplating, enamelling and painting and in intermediate cleaning before processing processes, in particular before Glow.
Obwohl die erfindungsgemäßen Reinigerkonzentrate selbstverständlich auch in unverdünnter Form angewendet werden können, ist jedoch im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung bevorzugt, die Reinigerkonzentrate derart zu verwenden, daß man eine 1 bis 20 Gew.-% Reinigerkonzen¬ trat enthaltende wäßrige Lösung für die oben genannten Reinigungs¬ prozesse einsetzt. Dementsprechend enthalten bevorzugt verwendete Reinigungslösungen 10 bis 200 g/1 der erfindungsgemäßen Reiniger¬ konzentrate. Zur Bereitung von verdünnten Anwendungslösungen, d.h. Reinigungslösungen, werden die Reinigerkonzentrate in der Regel unter Rühren direkt in das Reinigungsbad eindosiert.Although the cleaner concentrates according to the invention can of course also be used in undiluted form, it is preferred for the purposes of the present invention to use the cleaner concentrates in such a way that an aqueous solution containing 1 to 20% by weight cleaner concentrate is used for the above-mentioned cleaning agents processes. Accordingly, cleaning solutions preferably used contain 10 to 200 g / 1 of the cleaner concentrates according to the invention. For the preparation of dilute application solutions, i.e. Cleaning solutions, the cleaning concentrates are usually dosed directly into the cleaning bath with stirring.
Der Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen pumpfähigen, alkalischen Reini¬ gerkonzentrate besteht zum einen darin, daß diese einen hohen Wirkstoffgehalt an Builderstoffen und gleichzeitig eine außeror¬ dentliche Lagerstabilität aufweisen und zum anderen darin, daß diese eine einfache Dosierung erlauben.The advantage of the pumpable, alkaline cleaner concentrates according to the invention is, on the one hand, that they have a high active substance content of builder substances and, at the same time, an extraordinary storage stability and, on the other hand, that they allow simple dosing.
Somit können für alle Anwendungsfälle in der industriellen techni¬ schen Reinigung geeignete Produkte angeboten werden, beispielsweise für das Spritz-, Bürst-, Tauch- und Ultraschallverfahren sowie für die elektrolytische Reinigung. Durch geeignete Kombinationen können vorgegebene Trübungspunkte eingestellt und so Hochtemperatur- oder Niedrigtemperatur-Reiniger zubereitet werden. Suitable products can therefore be offered for all applications in industrial technical cleaning, for example for spraying, brushing, immersion and ultrasonic processes as well as for electrolytic cleaning. Using suitable combinations, predetermined cloud points can be set and high-temperature or low-temperature cleaners can be prepared.
BeispieleExamples
Die nachfolgend genannten Beispiele dienen der Erläuterung der Er¬ findung.The examples given below serve to explain the invention.
In den Beispielen und Vergleichsbeispielen wurden jeweils die nichtionischen Tenside zusammen mit der Polyacrylsäure-Lösung und dem Glycerin aufgeschmolzen und dieses Gemisch anschließend in ei¬ nem Labormischer mit den Builderstoffen, d.h. insbesondere Natriummetasilicat und/oder Natriumpyrophosphat, vermischt. Hieran anschließend wurde diese Mischung in eine im Handel erhältliche 50 Gew.-%ige Natronlauge eingerührt, auf 60 °C erwärmt und anschlie¬ ßend mit einem Hochleistungsdispergierer dispergiert. Die erfindungsgemäßen Dispersionen sind bei Raumtemperatur über mehrere Wochen absetzstabil und zeigen keine Änderung des Fließverhaltens, während bei nicht erfindungsgemäßen Dispersionen schon nach relativ kurzer Zeit eine Phasentrennung beobachtet werden konnte, die ent¬ sprechende Produkte für die technische Anwendung ungeeignet macht.In the examples and comparative examples, the nonionic surfactants were melted together with the polyacrylic acid solution and the glycerol, and this mixture was then mixed with the builder substances in a laboratory mixer. especially sodium metasilicate and / or sodium pyrophosphate, mixed. This mixture was then stirred into a commercially available 50% by weight sodium hydroxide solution, heated to 60 ° C. and then dispersed using a high-performance disperser. The dispersions according to the invention are stable to settling for several weeks at room temperature and show no change in the flow behavior, whereas with dispersions not according to the invention a phase separation could be observed after a relatively short time, making the corresponding products unsuitable for industrial use.
